When the school was asked, they said they no longer allow stepmoms on the site. After 12 years, I was now listed as stepmom. My husband and I tried to fight it stating that I was mom, but they refused to change it. We showed court paperwork showing that I was the mom. They used every excuse in the book. The court order removing the bio moms parental right was not the order. Lie. We have the judgement stating that was the order. That just because the mother lost parental rights, did not mean she lost educational rights. After hearing that, I realized that the school staff was knowledge challenged. What we came to find out is the school worked with the bio mom to give her rights to his files. This woman has not had parental rights for 12+ years for abusing her children and they let her have access to him as a minor.

This school was a terrible experience for me. Even some of the rude students were kinder than many…read moreof my teachers. By my second week there, I already felt miserable. A lot of students acted like they could get away with anything, even being able to do so, while my friends and I would get in trouble for the smallest things. Many of the insecurities I struggle with started there. Some teachers would call students out publicly over minor issues, which only made things worse and made me more insecure about my issues. One of my classmates even broke my glasses, and when my mom and I spoke to the vice principal about it, it felt like she didn't care and even found the situation amusing. Thankfully, I had a few good friends who helped me get through the school year. There were constant fights in and outside the school, which made me afraid to report how I was being treated. Some students would hold their phones over restroom stalls to take pictures of other students and show them to their friends. I was one of the students targeted. Since then, that experience has continued to affect me, and every time I saw those students, they wanted to start problems or fight me. My time at this school had made a serious impact on my mental health for almost over a year. I took antidepressants, and at one point I attempted to take my own life. I understand that middle school can be difficult, but no student deserves to be treated this way. What makes it even more upsetting is that many students have shared similar experiences over the years, yet it seems like little was done to address them. (I also want to mention that this review is based on my experiences from 2021-2023. The school may have changed since then, and I hope it has improved for current students. However, I still felt it was important to speak out about the issues I personally experienced during my time there.)

I was a former student at this middle school (2016 to 2018), and looking back, I feel compelled to…read moreshare my experience, as it had a profound impact on my life. During my time here, I had high hopes of making friends, unfortunately that wasn't as planned. I remember coming into the school, hoping to make friends right off the bat, but it didn't quite turn out that way. I was surrounded by classmates who frequently displayed disruptive conduct, and I experienced peer pressure to imitate their antics in an effort to fit in, which just made me feel more out of place. I am a full Hispanic girl who, surprisingly, never learned to speak Spanish throughout my life.I also favored indoor activities to outdoor ones, which made me paler-skinned than some of my peers at the time. My appearance and lack of proficiency in the Spanish language became a target for ridicule. I was called names like "White" or told that I couldn't be Mexican because I couldn't speak Spanish. One particularly distressing incident stands out in my memory. I was assaulted by another student and had to be taken to the principal's office. Instead of finding support, my mom and I were met with hostility from the principal, who engaged in a confrontation with my mom. This ultimately led to my mom filing a police report, which, unfortunately, only made my situation worse. I became a target for more ridicule and even received threats at one point. The trauma from those years has stayed with me, but with time, I have grown older and more mature. I'm now attending a four-year university alongside my older sister, with the support of my dog and wonderful roommates who all love me just the way I am. It feels like the right time to share my experience with others, as a way of letting go of the past. Despite the challenges, there were a few bright spots during my time at the school. I cherish the very few individuals who saw the good in me and accepted me for who I am. Additionally, there was one special teacher who played a significant role in my life. not only my teacher but also became one of my best friends, providing the support I needed to make it through those difficult years. To that teacher, the one who picked me for student of the month, the one who let me (along with other students) sit in your classroom during lunch, you know who you are, if you are reading this, I am forever grateful for your kindness and friendship during my time in that hell hole.

SO if you have more kids on the ESL plan then they receive more Federal Funding? hummmm, yeah real financially smart to retain kids as long as possible. You need to push the counselors around for a IEP otherwise they are lazy and then act dumb. That is after Mr Mom (as known as) the father forwarding them email(s). Requesting an IEP to transition our child to a EO Language arts class. (trust me I could of gone to Dept of Ed or the DISTRICT but other dumb things happened beyond my control) Over all my biggest concern is "The Counselors dept." are found to be lazy. Do you're self a favor and grab a copy of NOLO IEP's for Parents. Otherwise great community as in the neighborhood is safe and many of the kids are nice. My child never reported any other concern. I will wrap it up in a positive note. That the one thing I will always LOVE or have a happy memory of Citrus Intermediate School, is they were extremely nurturing with multicultural kids especially mine. That was just beautiful to see all kind of colors coming together in harmony. Now Imagine that! My child felt she was just like everyone else! They offered a "sense of belonging!" For that!!! I give them a 5 star all the way home. Thank you! For making this a multicultural friendly school. So as you can see why I gave them a 3 star and not a one star. ps. this took place in 2016

The current principle did absolutely nothing to solve the issue. Another thing are the nuns. They are kind ladies, though too strict and stingy. My daughter takes Spanish with them, and they teach your children absolutely nothing. Apparently they are a new addition to the school, though they are very ineffective and unapproachable. They show lack of empathy for student struggles, display favoritism, and are completely disconnected from their students' learning needs. Despite all this, it is only the tip of the iceberg. Not only them, but pretty much every other teacher/aid is like this. St. Edward is only after your money, and does not care for your children's education. Save your time (and money), go find a better catholic school.

Let's just wake a moment to acknowledge that these few 5 star reviews are from the staff-- I know this because my child attended briefly. My son started here in the 1st grade and my daughter kinder. First week was great, second week my daughter told me two boys pushed my son at school. With this info I went to the principal (if he is even qualified to be called that)Whitehead. I spoke to him about my concerns and my kids concerns about the physical contact. He went on to tell me it was "not a bullying situation" so he was not obligated to inform me. The children pushed my child and my child responded and an aide had broken it up. He claimed to have not seen these things happen, but would not allow me to talk to the aide present. As I continued to express my concerns, he tried to tell me my son was the aggressor. Frustrated I asked for a conference to discuss this as Whitehead was very gaslighting and dismissive. While the conversation continued another staff member approached to save Whitehead, (due to his lack of qualifications he was not able to handle the conversation on his own) a lady name Ms. Kemp approached. She claimed to be his colleague (right hand if you will), but it almost certainly gave off a husband/wife vibe. The next day I was called into the office to talk about my child--- ALL OF A SUDDEN, he's a problem. Whitehead goes on to tell me my child is doing disruptive things and being physical. Conveniently his teacher didn't see these things, lady Kemp saw them. They claimed my child attempted to bite a child's arm out. Yet NOT ONE PERSON saw this. What Kemp and Whitehead were unaware of was that I was in contact with the teacher aide. Constantly checking in and she said my child was doing great. So my child is doing great, until I confront whitehead about negligence-- now my child is a problem. That's interesting. Needing more clarification, I reach out to his teacher, Kubo-- to speak about my child progression and participation in class. She tells me through dojo she'll give me a call. But guess who calls me instead? Yep, whitehead and kemp. The teacher said she saw none of these things that it was brought to her attention. I let whitehead know I his office, YOU ARE A BULLY! A MEATHEAD, AND UNDER-QUALIFIED. His email signature for being a mentor and navigator not only incorrectly characterizes him, but it's obvious and sadly misspelled. This is NOT a school, this is a CULT! Whitehead should NEVER be allowed to call himself a principal. Your children are not safe there. They are headcount's for a paycheck. I thought I was gaining a community. Instead I gained insight on how some people are only in certain for power and intimidation. Not to mention he tried to use my child's kindergarten behaviors to justify his actions as a grown man. You know how disgusting that is to blame a baby for the actions of an adult? Do you know how dangerous it is, to have teachers willing to go along with another teacher? Not to mention my daughter lunch was constantly stolen, along with her thermal water bottle-- and she often complained of her teacher plugging her ears as kids approached her with help or issues. Please choose a safer place for your babies. THEY ARE NOT SAFE THERE. PROTECT CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS SPRINGS CHARTER! May God have mercy on those who bully, harm, and/or neglect children. If you or any family have experienced any misfortunes at this school please report it! Reviews are not enough, get predatory people out of the school system!

"Oh boy." Sabrina Carpenter said it best, and honestly,…read morethose two words sum up my experience at CFIS.Let me be clear. This is MY side of the story. Sure, I probably made things harder for myself at times, but a lot of what happened? That's on the school.Seventh grade started off fine. I was quiet. Minding my own business. I made a friend. It was actually kinda nice. But then in science class, this boy kept bullying me over my Tourette's. Like constantly. I can't control it. I tried to stop it. I told the counselor. They were nice, told me it wasn't okay, said they'd talk to him and handle it. Guess what? They didn't. Nothing happened. He kept going. Eventually he moved on to someone else like it was a game. So yeah, he stopped bullying me. But only because he found a new target. That's not a solution. That's just ignoring the problem until it shifts. Now fast forward to eighth grade. We're supposed to be the oldest, the leaders, the ones setting the example. Yeah right. Drama was everywhere, and the drama I was in? I'm not gonna spill all the details or name names (except for one person, she earned it), but let's just say the school said they'd take it "seriously." Spoiler alert: they didn't. They suspended the wrong kid. Literally punished someone who didn't do anything while the actual problem just got swept under the rug. And now the cherry on top: their "leadership" program. It sounds cute until you're actually in it. It's run by this one teacher -- yeah, I'm name-dropping -- Mrs. Saunders. We were cutting skeletons for an activity, and she starts screaming at this kid in class. Straight up yelling in front of everyone. I went over to ask him if he was okay, but I could tell he didn't feel like talking. Later, he told me he has motor skill issues and struggles with cutting. And instead of helping him, Mrs. Saunders made him clean everything up like he did something wrong. She told him it was "the least he could do. This place is a mess. It's a dumpster fire. No support. No action. Just fake promises and teachers who snap instead of support. If you're thinking about coming here -- don't. CFIS, you need to get it together.
